What happens

Beavis and Butt-Head is an American adult animated sitcom created by Mike Judge for MTV. The series follows Beavis and Butt-Head, both voiced by Judge, a pair of teenage slackers characterized by their apathy, lack of intelligence, lowbrow humor and love for hard rock and heavy metal. The original series juxtaposes slice-of-life short subjects in which the characters embark on misadventures and comment on music videos in the fictional town of Highland, Texas. Judge created Beavis and Butt-Head when making animated shorts. Two of these shorts, including Frog Baseball, were broadcast by MTV's animation showcase Liquid Television. MTV commissioned a full series, which over its seven seasons, became its most popular program. The original series ended in 1997, but has been twice rebooted, first in 2011 for MTV, and again in 2022 for Paramount+. Starting in 2025, the second reboot was moved to Comedy Central, which renewed the series for an eleventh season. The show has been renewed for a twelfth season. During its initial run, Beavis and Butt-Head received acclaim for its satirical commentary on society, as well as criticism for its alleged influence on adolescents. The characters became pop culture icons among Generation X viewers, with their sniggering and dialogue becoming catchphrases. The series was adapted into the films Beavis and Butt-Head Do America (1996) and Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe (2022). Adaptations and tie-in products include comic books, video games, books, and music. A spin-off series, Daria, ran for five seasons from 1997 to 2002. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
